Description
James Conner is one of those athletes that continues to defy expectations. After his Sophomore year at Pitt where he rushed for over 1700 yards and 26 TD's(!!!), he got injured in the first game entering his "first" Junior year and was out for the season. During rehab he was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. He battled through the rehab and the cancer treatments and was able to play one more season at Pitt in 2016. The Steelers knew all about Conner's work ethic and defied draft expectations by selecting him in the 3rd round of the 2017 draft. He became Le'veon Bells "back-up" but soon took over for him in his second season when Bell held out and effectively was out of Pittsburgh. While his stats were never great, he was able to score 26 TD's in his first 4 years. In 2021, the Arizona Cardinals picked up Conners and soon won the hearts of the Arizona fans with his personality and blue collar hard work ethic. They have been rewarded with a starting running back that continues to put up solid numbers and he even had his first 1,000 yd rushing season in 2023. The Man knows how to play! A great player with a patch and limited run serial number card, this is one to keep and pass down the life story of a great professional with great character! H2P
